Electronic musical score display device

Abstract

An electronic musical score display device comprises an electronic display panel displaying at least one page of musical score data; a manipulator that will transmit a page turn signal wirelessly, generated from a pressure contact such as the pressing of a foot; and a microprocessor that controls the divided pages of musical score data being shown on the electronic display panel, which after receiving the page turn signal will perform a page turn action. Therefore, a performer is not required to manually turn pages on the electronic musical score display device by hand, so the performance is not interrupted due to page turning, thereby increase the performance quality.

1. An electronic musical score display device, comprising:
 an electronic display panel displaying at least one page of musical score data; 
 a manipulator, operated by a pressure contact from a foot of a human operator, configured to begin a page turning process by transmitting a page turn signal through a wireless communication; 
 a microprocessor configured to receive the page turn signal for turning a page and control divided pages of the musical score data shown on the electronic display panel; and 
 a cylindrical storage unit having a main body and two half-tubular shells, for storing the electronic display panel; 
 wherein when the electronic display panel is unfolded in an operating mode the main body of the cylindrical storage unit lies in a center of the electronic display panel with the half-tubular shells respectively located at left and right sides of the electronic display panel and serving as fixtures for securing the left side and the right side of the electronic display panel at predetermined positions. 
 
     
     
       2. The electronic musical score display device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electronic display panel is folded in a storage mode in which the two half-tubular shells substantially connect with each other and the manipulator, along with a support cushion connecting cylindrical fringes of the cylindrical storage unit are adapted to set around an outer surface of the cylindrical storage unit. 
     
     
       3. The electronic musical score display device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electronic display panel is an electronic paper. 
     
     
       4. An electronic musical score display device, comprising:
 an electronic display panel displaying at least one page of musical score data; 
 a manipulator, operated by a pressure contact from a foot of a human operator, configured to begin a page turning process by transmitting a page turn signal through a wireless communication; 
 a microprocessor configured to receive the page turn signal for turning a page and control the divided pages of the musical score data shown on the electronic display panel; and 
 a storage unit having a main body and two half-tubular shells, for storing the electronic display panel; 
 wherein when the electronic display panel is unfolded in an operating mode the main body of the storage unit lies in a center of the electronic display panel with the half-tubular shells respectively located at left and right sides of the electronic display panel and serving as fixtures for securing the left side and the right side of the electronic display panel at predetermined positions, and the electronic display panel is folded into the storage unit in a storage mode in which the half-tubular shells substantially connect with each other and the manipulator along with a supporting cushion are adapted to set around an outer surface of the storage unit. 
 
     
     
       5. The electronic musical score display device according to  claim 4 , wherein the electronic display panel is an electronic paper. 
     
     
       6. An electronic musical score display device, comprising:
 an electronic display panel displaying at least one page of musical score data; 
 a manipulator, operated by a pressure contact from a foot of a human operator, configured to begin a page turning process by transmitting a page turn signal through a wireless communication; 
 a microprocessor configured to receive the page turn signal for turning a page and control the divided pages of the musical score data shown on the electronic display panel; and 
 a storage unit having a main body and a half-tubular shell, for storing the electronic display panel; 
 wherein when the electronic display panel is in an operating mode one side of the electronic display panel connects to the main body of the storage unit with the other side of the electronic display panel connects to the half-tubular shell wherein the main body of the storage unit and the half-tubular shell serves as fixtures for securing the electronic display panel at predetermined positions, and the electronic display panel is in a storage mode in which the main body of the storage unit and the half-tubular shell connect to each other and the manipulator along with a supporting cushion are adapted to set around an outer surface of the storage unit. 
 
     
     
       7. The electronic musical score display device according to  claim 6 , wherein the electronic display panel is an electronic paper.
